CCDE Design Labs – Volume I challenges you with realistic, scenario-driven network design problems inspired by the complexity and decision-making expected at the CCDE level.Work through evolving business requirements, technical constraints, architecture trade-offs, exhibits, and unexpected changes then compare your decisions against detailed answers and design rationale.Built for experienced network engineers and architects who want to sharpen their design judgment, challenge their assumptions, and prepare for advanced real-world network design.

Read the book, do the labs, and gain your CCNP/CCIE Automation certification.

Regardless of the number of branches or hubs, this practical guide will help you setup Fortinet SDWAN solutions and complete your projects in the shortest time possible while adhering to best practices. Use this book as a guide to navigate the different phases of your deployment.

Understand wireless from first principles — seven domains, forty original diagrams, and ten real-world field scenarios that turn exam facts into engineering instinct.

Learn to build fast, scalable asynchronous applications in C with libuv, the cross-platform library behind Node.js. Through practical examples and clear explanations, you'll master event-driven programming and write high-performance software that runs efficiently across Linux, macOS and Windows.

Most ENCOR guides tell you what a protocol does. This one shows you the whole configuration, the output that proves it works, and the exact line that tells you when it doesn't.

The internet depends on a routing system that was never built with security in mind. This book explores how BGP works, how routing attacks happen and how RPKI helps defend global networks. From protocol fundamentals to real-world deployment, it offers a practical look at the threats, tools and decisions that shape Internet routing security.

What does it really take to build a web application from the ground up, without relying on layers of frameworks to do the heavy lifting? Building Modern Web Applications in C takes you from a handful of sockets to a fully functioning, secure and production-ready web service, revealing the inner workings of HTTP, databases, sessions, TLS and everything in between. Through hands-on examples and the evolution of Taskforge, you’ll learn not just how to make a web server work but how to build one you can trust, deploy and keep running in the real world.

BGP security is more than a set of filters and policies. This book takes a practical, systems-level look at securing routing infrastructure, from RPKI and route filtering to monitoring, automation and incident response, with real configurations, code examples and lessons from incidents that have shaped how the Internet is secured.

HAProxy Essentials is a practical guide to building, running and troubleshooting HAProxy in production. From core concepts to advanced architecture, it explains how the pieces fit together and what can go wrong. Based on HAProxy 3.4 LTS, with clear notes on 2.8 and Enterprise-specific features.

Envoy Proxy is the foundation of modern cloud-native networking, powering service meshes, API gateways and AI infrastructure. This practical guide shows you how to design, deploy and operate Envoy in production with expert guidance, real-world configurations and advanced patterns for scalable, resilient systems.

Practical, safe AI for people who actually run networks.

Most developers can build a web server with a framework. Far fewer understand what happens underneath. Rust from Sockets to Servers takes you from raw TCP sockets to a production-ready web server built in Rust, giving you a deep understanding of HTTP, async programming, TLS, routing, and the foundations behind every modern web application.

Whether you're deploying your first reverse proxy or managing high traffic production infrastructure, this book gives you the practical knowledge to use NGINX with confidence. Learn not just what each feature does but why it matters, how to avoid common mistakes and how to build fast, secure, reliable systems that scale.
